[election 82] UPDATE 7:00 MSNBC calls VT for McCain and Obama. UPDATE 9:00 MSNBC calls RI and TX for McCain. That also gives him enough delegates to be the presumptive nominee. He is scheduled to go to the White House tomorrow to get blown by Bush. UPDATE 9:05 Someone take Chris Matthews off the air. […]
In their defense, if you don’t have oversight then you can’t say you did any wrong: On Friday, the White House issued a new executive order effectively gutting the Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB), “created in 1976 in the wake of widespread abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies.” Under the order, many of the IOB’s investigative powers […]

Awww there must be trouble in paradise. McCain wants to use Bush for fundraising, but doesn’t “want the president to appear too often at his side”. Don’t worry about it John. We have enough memories of you two together: I think it’s time for a little project. We need to remind people exactly how close […]
During his State of the Union address, Bush was pushing Congress on a school voucher program. Today we got two different stories of Catholic schools discriminating against women (here and here).
